I saw pictures of this killing hummingbirds because they get stuck to it?

I've been using this for over a year and not once has a critter got stuck or died from it except for ants, nats, bugs that have attempted to cross it. I use it on two fruit trees and a bird feeder that also has a small container for humming bird nectar and thankfully, no bird has been caught, nor have I found deceased bird next to my plants and feeder. If that ever comes to pass, I'll probably stop using the product because I don't want to harm the birds.

I haven't seen those pictures, but I can see why that would be the case. I have found chunks of squirrel hair stuck to it but never an actual squirrel or any other critter. Only ants

I have not seen those photographs but I can't see a Hummingbird getting caught in this stuff. You place it near the bottom of the tree to catch the bugs climbing up. Hummingbirds never get near that area of a tree(or at least I have not seen them hanging out near there). Hummingbirds are stout little creatures and would easily get clear of it. I used it all last year. I maintain a Hummingbird feeder constantly and have had nothing but bugs get caught in it. I recommend this stuff. Hope this helps.

Yes, supposedly bugs are attracted to the color, go to it, then get stuck on the goo and can't get unstuck. The goo is very effective.

No this would kill them and they would probably fall off. Its freezes things solid. Fast

The part where the flower is is where they drink. There's a resting stem for them to land on ( and yes hummingbirds do land they dont just fly 24/7) Anyway's once they get the hang of it my hummingbirds will fly on over and they either hover at the flower and drink or they land on the stem sticking out beneath the flower and drink. Somehow they figure it out. They will poke around it sometimes until they figure it out but give them time and they will come. Also the bottom part of the flower unscrews after so you can put your own sugar water in it when this water has expired. I noticed that mine lasted for months and the sugar water did'nt go bad in it that came with the feeder. It's a gel like substance that you fill up the rest of the bag with water and shake bag back and forth to mix. It's convienient and just hang it up against a wall so it does'nt swing around to much for them. Hope this helps!

the plastic flower at the bottom has an opening for the humming birds to insert their beaks, releasing the nectar flow up in the bag. the surface tension of the fluid within the small opening won't let the nectar drip out. the flower has the little perch bar if the bird wants to hang on and sit like a branch. On almost all of these bag feeders, the flower end will unscrew like a 2 liter soda bottle so you can refill

No not really. They still came around where I had it put down. The sticky traps work the best. Doesnt repel them, which is what I'd prefer....But at least somethings killing them

Very good questions. The sticky stuff's efficacy seems to wear off pretty quickly. Either that or the pigeons I "invite" on my balcony have learned how to avoid! The spikes have also not deterred them. And all these years I thought city pigeons were stupid? Not so! Good luck getting rid of your pigeons. I've just about given up! Oh, and I do not have leaves blowing around on my balcony so cannot address that issue, sorry.

The holes are cut on an angle and they can't fly sideways I guess. I've had my trap attached for 3 weeks i've caught 35 bees so far. Caught move than 35 last year.

Nope you want to keep that on there. Gives the wretched creatures the ability to climb in money their demise. For real though definitely want to keep them on their so they can get in and trapped.

I have had a bad experience with starlings and grackles sticking their head and long beaks inside the small squares and devouring the suet cakes in about 1/2 hour! It was amazing watching these aggressive birds figure out how to hang on to the bottom of the cage. Blue Jays have the same long beak and I am sure they will find a way into the cage. I actually decided to return the cage but received a credit from Amazon instead.

I don't know, but the squirrels ate one of ports out so he used kids plastic egg,cut in half, attached with glue gun and it fine now, we now have a family of coons robbing all bird feeders, do you have a solution for that?

I think there is a problem with the item pic that is being displayed. Of course after you asked the question about this pictured product I immediately reviewed my purchases. There is an issue here but think you are asking about the product I purchased the kill the beetles in my agave plant, is that what you are asking about?

Definitely not - it could kill them. You also will need to remove any plants.

I had a few do this. Solved it by putting a drop of the Terro down and 1 drop of honey on top. Killed them quick.

I have never had problems with the Woodpeckers feeding from the Hummingbird feeders. I have Birdfeeders with Sunflower seeds and also Suet Feeder nearby the Woodpeckers stick with those.

The bees can't feed. There is a distance from the "lid" part where the feeder holes are and the "bowl" where the nectar is. The humming birds perch and then have to dip their beaks through the holes. It's fun when they have filled their beaks because then they put their heads up and swallow. The top is smooth and the flower is not a separate piece. It is red, not yellow. We have wasps feeding on our other feeders, but not this one. The picture does a good job of showing how it works. Our hummingbirds are territorial so they only feed one at a time. We love this feeder. Very easy to clean and fill. No spilling. The bees can't feed. There is a distance from the "lid" part where the feeder holes are and the "bowl" where the nectar is.

The birds that use my birdbath, which is where I have the solar pump, bathe all around it. Yes they can get under it but for my purposes it sprayed too high although I have seen hummingbirds use the spray. I added more holes to reduce the pressure and height of the spray. It worked fine and the price was better than many other places.
